tripod Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 I'll answer most of your questions, but I don't think this is the appropriate forum to discuss the shortness of my poll. I sit 6.5 feet away from the speakers, on a couch. Solid plaster wall about 1 foot behind me, the couch ends about shoulder high. I sit in a relaxed upright position, feet on the coffee table, hand in my waistband (a la Al Bundy). Sober 99% of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougdrake Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 ... I am 8 feet away from the speakers. ... there is a wall about 1 foot behind my head ... I sit in a normal sitting position, head against back of couch, leaning into the "good parts" ... I am in nirvana from the exquisite sound I'd like to paint a word picture more like the guy in the tape ad with the speaker about 7" away (a la NOS) and my hair blown back, but that was years ago...

Colin Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 I am 6 to 8 feet away from the speakers. small speakers are 3 to 4 feet from front and side walls; Khorns are in the corner There is a walkway behind my head and a half wall to the kitchen, sides are open with a door and sliders, though the front of the room is enclosed I sit up right, most of the time, some speakers and music make you want to get up and move around I am always straight, usually before bedtime, every once in long while, when little miss sensitive ears is out for the evening, I will suck down some screwdrivers and crank the babies! I hear live (amplified) music a few times most months, but it has been awhile since we heard an acoustic set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted December 3, 2002 Author Share Posted December 3, 2002 I'm 8 feet away. My chair has a cushy head cushion, so there is padding behind my ears. The closest wall behind me is 15 feet away. The chair is a rocker, and I tend to tilt back a little. I'm as pure as the wind driven snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I _usually_ recline when using the HT system. I'am _straight____ (somewhat intoxicated, stoned, straight, blasted) When I listen to the Klipschorns: I am _12__ feet center of each speaker. There is a _Wall_ behind my head. I _usually_ sit straight with feet on ottoman. Unfortunately, still _straight_ (somewhat intoxicated, stoned, straight, blasted) I'm very interested in the final stats for that last question! Good questions.
